For every trip low-car trip you log in the Trip Diary during October, you'll earn bonus credits in our monthly Prize Raffle. Try a new mode of transportation in October to be entered into bonus drawings for prizes.

Log all Commute, Errand or Work/Meeting trips in the Trip Diary for a chance to win EXTRA prizes. Challenge others to use low-car modes of transportation (walk, bicycle, carpool/vanpool, transit, telecommute, Amtrak or motorcycle).

Every time you choose a low-car travel mode, you are improving our region's air quality, reducing traffic congestion, and saving money on gas and parking – when you drive alone less, everyone wins!

View current rankings for individuals and employers, or challenge a friend to a one-on-one competition to see who can log the most low-car trips.

Each week we will celebrate a different mode of low-car transportation:

1. Rideshare Week October 1-5

2. Walk Week October 6-12

3. Bike Week October 13-19

4. Try Transit Week October 20-26

5. Multimodal Transportation Week October 27-31

Fuel Cell Types

In celebrating low car use month, it is important to look at alternate forms of transportation that do not use fossil fuels, or if that is not possible, to look at forms of transportation that use far less fossil fuels. Fuel cell technology is technology that can either use fossil fuel or not depending on the fuel of choice. Following is a chart of fuel cell types.
